sorry, I thought u just need two vertical walls. I'm not sure about the hole with four vertical walls Regards guocheng shao Sudarshan Hegdewrote: Hi Shao The paper was helpful regarding the methods dealing with perfect aligning. Thanks a lot. This paper discusses deep but long channels. In principle, (given that the alignment is perfect) is it possible to get vertical holes. i.e., four vertical walls ? Thanks and regards Sudarshan Hegde
